Happy Birthday Mamie!

My Grandma ("Mamie" in French) turned 97 last Saturday!
Since she gets easily tired, a card was better than a phone call. So I sent this to her last week.



I'll be offline from Wednesday to Saturday, so don't worry or be offended if I don't reply to your emails nor leave comments on your blogs!
(my parents are spending a week's holiday in their country house in the Straights of Dover, and since I don't have any other engagement till the end of the week, I believe I'll be more efficient in my work over there - it's so quiet and peaceful!) I'll miss you all!
I'm taking the JCS Ornament magazine and my Silkweaver cuts with me...

The card for your grandmother is really sweet! Have fun on your holiday and I hope you can stitch up a storm while you're there ;-)

As the old McDonald's jingle here used to go, "You deserve a break today."
Enjoy your vacation, if it's just to study and stitch elsewhere! I so enjoy seeing the "gifties" you make, although "fiftie gifties" every week seems to be your norm. When DO you sleep, girlfriend? Congrats. I, too, have a grandma named Mamie! KarenV - I sponsored one of your bags, and a Greek woman in my care group sponsored the other! Thanks!

An MA thesis on Mansfield Park?! Sounds interesting. Thanks for the comment about the dolls - I'm not sure how I'd go about doing a book, but ideas are germinating...

Dear Isabelle,
95 is a great age and what a lovely card I am sure she loved it.
Have a restful week. We sure will miss the eye candy that you feed us with. But I am sure when you get back you will have tons more for us.
hugs
